Alfred House

This grand 2 1/2 storey, 4 bedroom Queen Anne style heritage home was built in 1905. Alfred Ruckle built this home from a kit with the help of his friend, Charles Beddis. Gorden Ruckle married Lotus Fraser and lived here with their children Gwen and Henry. The inside of the home contains lovely handcrafted woodwork, including a polished cherry banister. Enjoy sitting on the patio and all of the lush outdoor space surrounding the home while soaking in spectacular views of life on the farm. This is truly one of Salt Spring Island’s most admired heritage homes.

Norman House Salt Spring Island accommodation I

Norman House

Home to Mike and Marjorie Lane (and three dogs and two cats!), the private upstairs of this beautiful heritage home is available to rent, complete with private bathroom. Norman Heritage house was built in the 1930s by William Norman Ruckle, along with the help of his brother Gordon and his father Henry, in anticipation of Norman's wedding which ended up not happening. He never married. The basement was used to store the potato harvest and each year this was where the family would sort, bag and sell the crop, resulting in this house being locally known as “the potato house”. The interior was left unfinished up until 1975 when it became used for BC Park’s local headquarters.
